Briefly: For all of the talk about Oregon's lackluster defense -- and that talk is valid and could be answered by a rotation change today -- there is also something to say about Oregon's lack of interior production on offense during its two-game losing streak. Against Colorado, Richard Amardi was blocked at least five times (CU had six blocks overall) within three feet of the rim -- and he is arguably Oregon's most effective low-post scorer, too, remember. Then against Cal, only Joseph Young was able to score efficiently on drives to the hoop, as UO was blocked four times. Mike Moser drove baseline in vain in the second half, but was blocked or seemed to lack the lift to finish. He said in postgame interviews he is OK, physically. Watch to see not only whether Oregon can stop opponents from getting easy shots, but whether UO can produce its own easy opportunities ... Is today the day Oregon returns to allowing opponents sub-.500 shooting? Oregon's highest allowed field goal percentage during its 13-0 streak was 47.2 percent to BYU but Colorado (56.4 percent) and California (52.5 percent) easily surpassed that to beat the Ducks. As long as we're talking about upticks in opponents' shooting, Colorado shot 41.7 percent from three-point range and Cal an eye-opening 50 percent, the highest of the season allowed by UO. This does not bode well for Oregon, considering Stanford's best statistical category is three-point shooting. The Cardinal are 19th nationally and best in the Pac-12 by shooting 40.6 percent from deep ... Though Oregon has often negated its such defensive efforts with its own mistakes, it is forcing opponents into an impressive 14.3 turnovers per game, 1.7 more than UO commits. For what it is worth, Oregon is 4-0 when it has more turnovers than its opponent and 9-2 when it has fewer ... Because of the two-game losing streak, Oregon's Johnathan Loyd is still stuck three victories away from tying E.J. Singler for the program record of 89. Loyd is also 34 assists from tying Luke Jackson for fifth all-time at UO in career assists with 424. After today's game, Loyd will be tied for fifth in games played in a UO uniform.
